Professor Charles J. Bullock, head of the depart ment of economics of Harvard univer slty and one of the foremost authori ties on taxation in the United States, has strongly, indorsed the two pro posed taxation amendments to the Oregon constitution, which were re ferred to the people by the last legis lature and will be voted on at the general election next November. Professor Bullock visited in Sa lem and in Portland the first of the week, on a tour of the northwest studying taxation laws and methods, The two proposed amendments of which he approved, provide that taxes may be levied and collected under gen erai laws, and ror pubiio purposes only, and for reasonable classification of property for taxation. - In a letter to Chairman Charles V. Galloway of the state tax commission. Professor Bullock says: "I have received and examined with great Interest your proposed constitu tional amendments relating to taxa tion. They seem to me admirably adapted to your needs, and if they can be adopted will open the way for useful changes in your taxation laws such as some of the other states have recently made with great advantage. "Progress in taxation matters is clearly Impossible In Oregon, or any other state that is bound by a consti tutional requirement of uniformity. until the constitution can be amended In some such manner as you propose. lour amendment provides for a rea sonable classification and by Its spe cific authorization of an Income tax opens the way for such a change as Wisconsin has-recently made. It will be fortunate for your state if at the next election the voters accept both of your proposed amendments." "Nenamosha." "Newport Or., June 20. To be res cued from what'appeared to be certain death by the peculiar construction of his vessel "Nenamosha, was the ex perience of Captain Butterf leldjtrmas- ( ter of the little gas schooner, which plies from this port to Slletz Bay. The house recently built aft was all that prevented the vessel turning turtle and filling with water, according to seafar ing men here. A boiler weighing several tons shift ed on deck to port, pulling the vessel on her side, till her masts lay on the water, but the house' aft prevented the vessel turning over under weight of the machinery. When the lashings were cut and the machinery dropped overboard the vessel righted at once. Hopgrowers for Hop Yards First Xiane County Division.

Lane county division of the Hop Growers' and Dealers' Association of Oregon organ ized in Eugene this afternoon. At the conclusion of. the meeting an enroll ment of membership for this division was made and SI people subscribed their names. James I Clark, of Springfield, was elected vice-president for Lane county, and will be ex-officio member of the state executive board. It was also decided that the next meet ing of the state association for the purpose of creating another division will be held next Saturday afternoon at McMlnnvllle. Colonel E. Hofer made . the principal address of the meeting. Rev. -Dr. Dunsmore, of Independence, was -on the program for an address against state wide prohibition, but he was detained at home by sickness. Mrs. M. J. Tlbbetts,. who owns a hop yard near this city, surprised the meet ing by making- a forcible address. In which she set forth that her personal experience with reference to labor In volved for workers In hop yards was such as to make it apparent to her that the prohibition theory would work harmful conditions to this Industry. Mrs. TIbbetts has always been a church worker, but says she will work against prohibition if it is going to destroy the hop Industry. while they feed upon 45 per cent of un- I The following birds live in the Hood cultivated fruit The mulberry is a I River valley, as we report them this favorite fruit for them, and if the I year: fruitgrower had a few of these trees!

By a new method of concentration a well known brewer of this city has discovered a process whereby real beer In concen trated form can now be furnished. Anyone can now have In their own home a glass of beer whenever want ed at a cos of only one cent a glass. He furnishes th barley, malt, hops and other necessary ingredients of beer in the concentrated form, so that simply by the addition of water and a little sugar a sparkling, foaming glass of lager beer can be quickly prepared. It is said that this beer is far superior to the regular brewery beer, and as a re sult of this discovery thousands of people all over the country are al ready making their own beer at home. Thia new discovery will be welcomed by thousands of people living In dry territory, as on account of Its con centration it can be delivered quickly and cheaply anywhere by parcel post. No one, whether in field, factory, farm or home, needs now to be without their daily glass of refreshing lager beer." Mr. A. 8, Shuh of 2 Sycamore St., Cincinnati.
